Stephen, Unfortunately, issues related to ADSP are not independent of DKIM. To encompass typical use, ADSP might require two separate signatures. While ADSP could solve a problem for a fractional percentage of domains, by providing a low level of suitability, it becomes difficult to justify resources to support a few domains. This is especially true in a time when resources are being reduced. DKIM indicates the signing domain is authoritative for its signed namespace. This authority should include signed header fields. ADSP should not limit what signatures are in compliance. DKIM alone should determine DKIM signature compliance! Progress should not be measured by meeting WG schedules, it should also encompass whether WG product meets the goals of its charter. Dave Crocker's errata declares signing domains to be opaque, however this approach is not supported by the DKIM charter. DKIM indicates the signing domain is authoritative for its signed namespace. While the i= value may not match against any header field, and may not represent a valid email-address, it should mean something when it does match against an email-address within a signed header field. Otherwise, DKIM becomes a fairly useless token added to messages. -Doug _______________________________________________ NOTE WELL: This list operates according to http://mipassoc.org/dkim/ietf-list-rules.html
